[The news of his sister’s engagement came as unexpected to Mithos, even though it probably shouldn’t have. Raine has been with Jack since before he had even been born; he’s known the man his entire life. He’s always accepted it as the norm, and despite the over-protectiveness he harbors for his one and only sister, he entrusts her wellness to the

I know right? hence why this au spurned its creation

[imatreestill]

[He sees you there, best friend of somewhat estranged brother, but he isn't sure what etiquette this situation calls for. After all, the way he sees it, Dhaos and his sister are a significant factor in Yuan's irresponsibility toward Mom.

He can't just ignore him, though, and offers a somewhat stiff greeting.]

Hey.

[whatdeheckisdat]

except for around Martel, pretty much 8D or Kaori

[imatreestill]

How did everyone hold up in all that confusion earlier this week? [...Not that he cares how Yuan is. Nope. And despite his not-quite-friendly feelings toward Dhaos's family, he wouldn't wish harm on them.]

[Action] for when you get home |D;;

[You may note that your mother isn't at the door right away when you first come back; that is simply because she is freaking out-by freaking out, I mean perched on top of the counter hunched in a terrified little ball with a duster in hand.

She notes Mithos with some anxiety in her face.]

Mithos-you've got to help me! Th-there's a strange creature...!

[Said creature ribbits rather loudly in response. :|]

[Action] living with Sayo: always a new adventure!

[imatreestill]

[He quickly (but gently!) sets his purchase down and hurries over to rescue his poor mother. When he sees what her assailant is...well, it's to be expected. He briefly sighs a smile and proceeds to work at calming her. Placing one hand on her upper arm, he rubs soothingly.]

Mom, it's all right; it's just a frog. It won't hurt you.

[OH MY GOD MITHOS DON'T WALK NEAR THAT THING-

Wait, wait, what?]

A... frog? What's that...?!

[Action]

[imatreestill]

It's an animal that lives in ponds. See- [he ducks down to scoop the creature up...except it hops away. Ack. Try again... and miss. Third time's the charm. Triumphantly, he pops back up to show mama.] -it's probably as afraid of you as you are of it.

[Which clearly means that catching the poor creature is the right thing to do in this situation. Hey, it's a learning moment, okay?]

[Vash is at the flower shop today, looking a bit tired. Someone might have had a little TOO much fun at the festival, regardless - it's a possible customer! So he puts on a happy smile.]

Hello, there! How can I help you!

[Action] .......he's so disturbingly polite and well-behaved what is this

[imatreestill]

I'm looking for something to get for my sister.

[Action] 8D The fun of AUs!

[goldenglasses]

Oh! Your sister? [What a good brother.] Well, do you know her favorite flower? Or maybe color?

[Action] just watch out when this is all over 8|

[imatreestill]

[a quick nod.] She's getting married, so I wanted to get her something nice to congratulate her.

[he thinks for a moment.] She likes orange.

[wise_maiden]

[Even more later, at home! Since... Raine probably was running errands for most of the day. She still needs that wedding dress, but she'll do that tomorrow.

Still, it will be one of the last few days to spend with her family at the apartment, with her items already moved and- it's just bizarre. The building she grew up in, and then moving so far away-

She's a in a reflective mood, lost in her thoughts, thinking about life's changes and the future. Mithos may find her by a window in her now empty room.]

[action]

[imatreestill]

[He lightly knocks on the already-ajar door, slowly pushing it open as he steps into her room.]

...Hey, sis.

[It's weird. For his entire life, she's lived right here in the room next to his, and now...she's leaving. Of course she'll still be around, living in the same village and all, but it's a big change for him to adjust to. He's always thought of himself as his sister's protector, but he would be lying if he didn't acknowledge that he was dependent on her in return.]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[She'd still have to come back to the village proper for work. Thankfully they did have Noishe, willing to provide transport.

The sound of her brother's voice shakes her momentarily out of those thoughts, as she shakes her head a little and turns away from the glass.]

... Mithos. Everything all right with Mother?

[action]

[imatreenow]

Mom's fine. I just wanted to come see you. [Since you won't live here anymore in a few days. He doesn't say that part, because he doesn't need to.

Crossing the room, he takes note of the absence of personal items. It's like all traces of his sister's years here are being erased, but he doesn't want to think about it like that. Focus on the positive things.]

What are you thinking about?

[one_green_eye]

[First, Ginko is going to curiously read this message that is not for him.

Then he is going to be around town, himself, keeping an eye out for his nephew. It's been awhile, and all.]

[imatreestill]

[Lucky for you, Uncle Ginko, this version of Mithos isn't quite so technologically adept.

Said nephew can be found sitting by the fountain in the center of the plaza, just taking a moment to enjoy the pleasant weather. A small bouquet of flowers sits across his lap.]

[one_green_eye]

Yo, Mithos. [he spots him and the flowers, and strolls over]

[imatreestill]

[and now coming back down to earth.] Hello, Uncle Ginko.
